Hmmm....

Alright, I admit it, I have been bitten by the Facebook bug, and on my profile there, I added this neat little thing called an Honesty Box, where people tell you their opinions of you anonymously. I thought this would be a handy little gadget hanging around, so I decided to add this. Look what this chick wrote about my religious status (which, by the way, is "Jesus Freak -kinda like a Christian, minus the rules"):

"You make christians sound like a bad thing, rules? and you seem guilty to be called one."

The way I see it, your average churchy Christian is a rules and religion freak, who holds to "Jesus plus equals the Gospel." I am of the mindset that "Jesus, plus, does not equal the Gospel." I don't like the stand that the church takes on rules and religion, I try to concentrate more on the relationship part of the deal. Also, I am NOT ashamed of Jesus, nor am I guilty of being called one of His followers. And I don't make it my primary goal in life to make the church look bad either, I am just saying that I don't beleive in their religion, I beleive in a relationship.

Comments?

I agree with what you are saying, but the person who left the comment has a point...what you wrote SOUNDS like you are down on Christians. I know you are not, but perhaps you could find a clearer way of saying what you meant.

Or perhaps that person could take a pill and relax a bit. LOL!!!
